@ScottKacsmar Hutson was insane

History of the NFL Record for Receiving Yards in a Season 1. 1932 was the first year with official stats and Ray Flaherty finished the season with 350 yards. Let's start there for ease. 2. Don Hutson got to 420 yards on 11/10/1935, the first 400-yard season. 3. On 12/8/1935, Tod Goodwin got to 432 yards and Charley Malone got to 433 yards on the same day. I don't know who did it first or when the games were played, but Malone got the record by 1 yard. 4. In 1936, Hutson had the first 500-yard season with 536 yards, his 2nd record. 5. In 1937, Huston reached 552 yards on 11/28 to break his own record again. 6. One week later on 12/5, rookie Gaynell Tinsley broke the record with 675 yards. 7. In 1939, Huston smashed the record for the 4th time with 846 yards. 8. In 1942, Hutson broke the record for a 5th time with a career-high 1,211 yards. 9. In 1951, Elroy Hirsch (Rams) broke the record with 1,495 yards. 10. In the 1961 AFL, Charley Hennigan had 1,746 yards for the Oilers. 11. By the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, the top 4 seasons were 3 AFL seasons and Hirsch's NFL season. That stood for almost 20 years. 12. In 1984, Roy Green (Cardinals) technically broke the NFL-only record with 1,555 yards. 13. In 1986, Jerry Rice broke that Green mark with 1,570 yards in his 2nd season in SF. 14. In 1995, 4 NFL WRs broke 1,600 yards. On 12/17/1995 (Week 16), Isaac Bruce (STL) and Herman Moore (DET) both surpassed Rice's NFL-only record of 1,570 yards in the 1 PM window. Bruce didn't get to 1,571 yards until the final minutes of the 4Q before Moore had already reached 1,581 yards on an early 3Q catch, so Moore technically held the record next and Bruce never did. 15. Moore's record lasted one day. On MNF, Jerry Rice had 289 yards vs. Vikings, giving him 1,695 yards. On Christmas Eve, Rice played at 1PM while Bruce played at 4PM. Rice added 153 yards to set the all-time record at 1,848. Bruce finished at 1,781. 16. Rice has been surpassed 3x since but the first time is still the all-time record when Calvin Johnson had 1,964 yards in 2012. Cooper Kupp came the closest with the same QB (Stafford) in 2021 with 1,947 yards in 17 games.

@AndrewDBailey Dale Ellis pretty high?

We had a panel of voters give us the 99 greatest shooters in NBA history (coming soon!), and the 2022-23 championship-winning Denver Nuggets have three players on the list. Probably a pretty underrated collection of skill on that roster.

@AshbyFox1 @jameis1of1 @TheJordanTruth Dawg thats not an argument you wanna start. Russell's legacy is impenetrable

@jameis1of1 @TheJordanTruth Russell ave 16 ppg, shot 55% from the line, was 1st team NBA 3x and Wilt was the more dominant player of that era. All 4 take him out of any MJ comparison. NO ONE has dominated BOTH individually AND with a team like MJ.

Labelling someone “the greatest winner” without being the greatest winner is peak Bronsexual logic. Bill & Kareem are greater winners than LeBron let alone MJ and Kobe.

@TheBearscast Bill george???????

Who is the BEST Linebacker in Bears History? Is this tougher than it needs to be or is this easy? Make sure you follow me!

@ScottKacsmar 4 goats right there

Mount Rushmore of Athletes You'd Use a Time Machine on to See How They'd Play in Today's League Babe Ruth Don Hutson Bill Russell Wilt Chamberlain

@WembyCentral And? If this is ignorance, its not a flex.

@MrCookinstein He’s older than the LIGHT BULB

48.5 mpg is maybe the most untouchable record in all of sports. It is literally not possible to be broken in today’s league. Your lower body would disintegrate after 15 games

@WembyCentral Not sure why thats relevant

@MrCookinstein That dude is 4 years younger than Arthur Morgan. That shit don’t count

@TheBearscast Stan jones

Who was the best Tackle for the Chicago Bears? Jimbo Covert Keith Van Horne Darnell Wright

@MLFootball @lexiosborne @bturner23 @TitleTalkTCL @FitzyGFY @StankBastard @ATLFalconsUK @ATLFalconsGER @denbron77 @JenniferMills21 @thewaynebreezie Did a 12 year old make this

THE GREATEST TIGHT ENDS IN #NFL HISTORY RANKED IN TIERS… WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE…? 🧐

@TerribleTerry83 No lol. This is horrible

Did they cook with the Miami Hurricanes top ten football players all time?

@NFL_Researcher Wikipedia says he wasnt. Having a hard time finding a newspaper article for the selections then to confirm

Most career rushing yards without making a Pro Bowl… 1. Antowain Smith – 6,881 2. LeGarrette Blount – 6,306 3. David Montgomery – 6,115 4. Cedric Benson – 6,017 5. James Stewart – 5,841 6. Duce Staley – 5,785 7. Fred Jackson – 5,746 8. Michael Pittman Sr. – 5,627 9. Reggie Bush – 5,490 10. Darren McFadden – 5,421

@WhozMEECH Jordan's idol was david Thompson

Y’all these highlights look crazy man. He’s so skilled man. The touch at the rim is wild. Jordan really wanted to be this dude

@historyofdahoop Bobby Jones

I want to do more stuff like this in the future, but not sure who to do

@VinnysCorner1 This isnt all time

They ranked the top 10 foreign NFL players in history, so you don’t have to!

@grisingTRS @IconicChriss The point is havlicek is underrated....

@IconicChriss Havlicek was a good player, but he was a compiler. Jordan was elite. Win Shares: all-time rank: 6 Jordan 41 Havlicek WS/48: all-time rank: 2 Jordan 198 Havlicek PER rank: 3 Jordan 221 Havlicek BPM rank: 2 Jordan 237 Havlicek

John Havlicek deserves far more respect than he gets. 🏀

@ScottKacsmar Stats are relative to era. That must always be considered

Ex. Most 300-yd passing games (playoffs included) 1. Brady - 132 2. Brees - 131 3. Peyton - 102 4. Ryan - 79 Most before age-30 season 1. Mahomes - 54 2. Marino - 41 2. Stafford - 41 4. Goff - 38 5. Peyton - 37 9. Brees - 32 10. Ryan - 31 41. Mark Brunell - 18 41. BRADY - 18

@CFBKings @mattseybert82 Always go to OT

Hail Mary and a walk-off two-point conversion to win his first dynasty game 🔥 (H/T @mattseybert82)

@NateSilver538 No we dont lol. Longevity is relarive to era like everything else. This is common sense

Between Messi, LeBron, Brady, Djokovic, we might need to recalibrate the aging curves a bit in sports models.
